Then there was silence.

Only the sound of the slow swaying trees remained. But that is weird for the fact that there was no wind.

As the "rustle of leaves", turned into footsteps, got louder and louder; the horrifying sound of screams and screech became unnoticeable.

The vampires have arrived and are now headed to the vulnerable Evangelica. Panic ensued inside the kingdom. They weren't prepared for this.

In a position not so far from the vampires are the Sacrifars. As they saw the attack, Fenrir finally shouted the battle cry.

"Sacrifars! Devour the madness! Fight for the light! Attack!" Fenrir howled.

Ravien, with the rest of the Sacrifars, ran from the forest towards the castle, revealing themselves to the vampires while they transformed into Lycanthropes.

Ravien was swift with his footsteps and Gunslinging skills. As if he was dancing in the air and gunning down every roamer and stalker vampire that attacks. His intense training has finally been put into action.

The war seemed to be favoring the Sacrifars. Fenrir struck down an elite vampire.

He looked around, and Fenrir felt that it was too easy and something was not right. There was no other Elite Vampire present in the vicinity.

His eyes widened, and before he realized that it was just a diversion, shadows of moving wings covered their sky.

Fenrir looked up, and it was as he suspected.

Large groups of elite vamps with stalkers riding on top of the roamers are flying towards Evangelica while passing through them.

Fenrir screamed. "We've been tricked! The people of Evangelica are in trouble!"

"Go inside quickly! Stop them! We'll handle this! We'll catch up," Furray screamed back.

Bark and Wolf agreed as they stayed along with a few Sacrifars to fight the vampire outside the kingdom.

"Be safe. Come back alive! For those who can still fight, come with me!" Fenrir commanded. Ravien, Paw, and along with most of the Sacrifars, followed him.

"How many can they get?! They're too many!" said Ravien. There was a slight tremble in his voice, but he quickly regained his composure and remembered all the training and preparation he did for this day.

He followed Fenrir into the kingdom.

---

Royal Guards have already started fighting back for their kingdom, but the vampires are overpowering them.

As one of the elite vampires about to strike a guard, Fenrir quickly managed to tackle the vampire away from the guard and kill it.

The guard quickly recognized the maroon trench coat.

"You...You... You're Fenrir Sacrifar! It's an honor, sir! My father used to tell me stories about you." said the guard, overflowing with hope.

"Thanks, boy, but now is not the time for that. Get up. We have a lot of saving to do." replied Fenrir as he helped the guard back to his feet.

"Right. Right, sir!" said the guard.

"Spread the news. The Sacrifars are here. Reinforcements have arrived!! Time to fight back!" the guard shouted to his fellowmen.

The rest of the Royal Guards roared as the fire of hope ignited again.

The fight continued.

Elite vampires now versus the Sacrifars and the Royal Guards.

There were already a lot of casualties; some of the houses have already been raided. People getting eaten. People getting bitten. But hope was also fighting back as some people were also being saved in the nick of time.

It was a gruesome night without the barrier to protect them.

While fighting, Ravien felt an unusual aura then an old fainting voice spoke to Ravien's head.

"Grandson, you're home! Welcome back... Such a coincidence...or not. She's in the Cathedral... Please save her.." as it entirely disappeared in the air.

Ravien screamed at Fenrir. "Fenrir! I think Evangelie talked to me; Mina is here! She's in the Cathedral!!"

Fenrir had just beaten up another elite vampire when he heard Ravien. "What?! Are you sure?" Fenrir asked.

"Yes! I'll go find her!" Ravien replied as he also finished an Elite Vampire.

"I'll go with you! If Mina's there, then Dalveth is mostly likely there too! You'll need help!" Said Fenrir, and then he added, "Paw! Can you take over?!"

Paw nodded and shouted, "Yes, sir!"

Paw then looked at Ravien, "Be careful."

"You too," Ravien replied.

Ravien and Fenrir made haste to the Cathedral

---

Upon reaching the Cathedral, it was already a gruesome and bloody mess. As if the Cathedral was transformed into a butcher warehouse.

"What the hell happened here?" asked Ravien

"Only Dalveth can do this disgusting mess," Fenrir answered.

They reached the golden and black marble room but mostly covered in blood. The door was already open.

The two ran into the room and saw a hooded person with a white mask holding a soldier by its neck.

"Stop! Dalveth!" shouted Fenrir.

The hooded figure looked at Fenrir while crushing the soldier's neck making his blood splattered across the room.

Then she tried to escape, but Ravien was quick to get behind her and gave one solid punch.

"You fiend!" Ravien shouted. She flew across the room, Fenrir then supported the punch with one massive kick.

It did significant damage to the hooded figure as it spat a mouth full of blood from her mask.

"Where's my sister?!" Ravien shouted as he ran towards the person for another attack.

Fenrir was just right behind Ravien to assist.

Doom was just a few inches away from the hooded figure when suddenly, Noira came flying to Ravien and Fenrir, knocking them out of their momentum.

"Run! Now!" shouted Noira. It gave the hooded person to escape the room.

Ravien tried to follow the person but was intercepted by Noira. Fenrir then tackled Noira to give Ravien time also to escape and follow the hooded figure.

"Go on! Follow him! I'll catch up!" shouted Fenrir

---

Ravien tried to catch up to the hooded person. Ravien puts out the Geminis and shoots her.

Ravien's accuracy was spot on, but the person was quicker and more graceful than she was able to dodge it except for one.

One of the bullets got lucky and scraped her arm, slowing her down a bit.

Ravien was finally able to catch up and about to give her another punch, but the person was quick to counter it.

The two exchanged blows and kicks inside the castle.

It was like a beautiful dance, but brutal.

"Dalveth! Where is my sister?!" as Ravien throws another punch then with a quick follow-up from the Geminis.

But all were countered by the hooded figure while still remaining silent. It was an equal match!

The two reached the Cathedral's bell tower. Fighting continued as they entered the top of the tower. The hooded figure jumped from the tower but Ravien quickly followed.

The two exchanged blows in mid-air but then both released a solid punch simultaneously, making their faces fly opposite from each other.

The hooded figure landed back at the bell tower, walls destroyed in the middle. In contrast, Ravien fell below the tower and in the Cathedral's roof garden.

The hooded person got up and saw Ravien below. She has the higher ground.

Ravien spat a lot of blood; he dealt substantial damage from that one punch.

Luckily, he also managed to give the hooded figure the damage it deserved as it made a crack to her mask that revealed a part of her face.

Ravien struggled to get up.

The hooded figure finally spoke, standing firmly as she looks down at Ravien.

---

"Give up. There's no use in fighting anymore. Look around." It was a female voice. Ravien was surprised upon hearing the hooded figure's tone.

Evangelica was burning in ashes. Dead bodies are everywhere. The Sacrifar's are losing, but none of them are giving up.

The vampires are already overpowering them.

Fenrir, now outside, was struggling with the elite vampire, Noira.

It was hell all over the place.

Ravien saw his comrades fighting for their lives along with the people of Evangelica.

Everything got slower, his eyes fully absorbing the horror. He started to feel weak, got to his knees, and closed his eyes.

He wished that he could do more. He wanted to save everyone; he wanted to keep his home; he wanted to save his sister.

The hooded figure smirked then said. "Giving up?"

"If only I could transform successfully...if only" Ravien said desperately.

He punched the ground and felt a petal on his fist. He opened his eyes and was surprised and relieved by what he saw.

He was in a Chrysanthemum garden, after all!

"There was no other way; he had to it. It's the only way to defeat Dalveth," He thought.

---

He got up to his feet.

He began to whisper repeatedly. "For the victims, the Sacrifars, Evangelica, and my family."

"You still have the guts to stand up? Oh, well. You'll die eventually." said the hooded figure

"For the victims, the Sacrifars, Evangelica, and my family." Ignoring her, Ravien continued his lines as they got louder and louder.

But nothing is happening until he remembered that there was no moon! It was a blank moon! Of all the times!

But before he loses hope, an old woman appeared in his thoughts and said: "Believe."

Ravien then looked at the hooded figure, now shouting the words repeatedly.

"For the victims, the Sacrifars, Evangelica, and my family!"

"Enough!" shouted the Hooded figure.

As she prepared her final attack, a fast blue arrow beam was shot from the streets of Evangelica, passing through the Cathedral between the hooded figure and Ravien.

Ravien's eye followed the beam as it pierces the clouds surrounding Evangelica.

---

And there it was, the moon lighting up the ruins of Evangelica.

"For the victims, the Sacrifars, Evangelica, and my family!" Ravien shouted for the last time, and the white smoke emerged, completely engulfing him, then the red smoke followed.

His clothes started to rip off and tear apart, but the Geminis are still intact, their belt holder seemed to adjust to any body size.

Fenrir noticed the smoke from the Cathedral's balcony as he struggles from Noira.

"No!" Fenrir shouted.

Red smoke now engulfs Ravien, "Am I failing again? No. Please, not again!" Ravien thought as he started to palpitate.

And then a transition of the image of Fenrir, Furray, Bark and Wolf, Paw, the Boy, the picture of his family, and lastly, an old woman. Saying, "Let go of your anger, my grandson."

"Grandmother?" asked Ravien. He closed his eyes and took control of his breathing once again. He finally let go of his anger and calmly thought of the victims, Sacrifars, Evangelica, and his family.

And there it was, his full resolve has been finally made.

He was finally able to focus on his heart's purest intention without succumbing to guilt and anger.

The red smoke vanished as the white smoke returned but this time, with violet streaks.

"This is crazy! He made it!" Fenrir thought as he was able to counter-attacked Noira and giving her significant damage.

Knowing her situation, Noira retreated and vanished

---

"What the hell did you do?! I'll finish you off!" as the hooded figure launched herself while transforming into a vampire to attack Ravien.

Ravien, in his lycanthrope form, jumped and emerged from the smoke countering the hooded person mid-air.

And the fight continued, destroying several buildings and houses. It seemed like the two beasts like to fight in mid-air.

With Ravien able to land a solid punch, fully cracking the hooded person's mask, then followed by a claw slash, that hooded figure's identity was finally revealed.

It was a woman to Ravien's surprise.

But Lilith was fast too and kicked Ravien away that sent him flying off.

Mid-air, Ravien was able to have a glimpse of what's happening below mid-air.

He saw Fenrir, helping Paw.

Furray, Bark, Wolf, and the other Sacrifars were finally able to catch up on them.

They are once again winning.

But there was a street in Evangelica that caught Ravien's attention.

"Is that a portal?!" Ravien curiously thought as he saw it glowing. He was amused but weirded out.

Something was coming out of it. Ravien also saw four figures right in front of the portal while fighting Vampires.

One looks like a wizard, a being that wields a scythe, and an archer.

"We weren't expecting any support," he thought but there was more.

"Is that a bu-"
